This New York Jets trend has oddly flipped on its head

One reason the New York Jets fired Robert Saleh was their consistently slow starts in games. With the switch to Jeff Ulbrich, though, that has flipped on its head, at least through two games.

From Weeks 1-5, the Jets ranked 24th in the NFL with 2.8 points scored per first quarter and 8.2 points scored per first half. They trailed at halftime in three of the five games, including by multiple scores twice. They improved to 12th in the third quarter with 5.2 points per game and 17th with 10.8 second-half points per game.

Since Ulbrich took over, the opposite has taken place.
